Chas. Zeninger-A sad Case.

MIR. Chas. Zeininger, a train dis
patcher of the Santa Fe at this place,
set down to the key to resume his duty
Sunday night at half past O'Clock and
soon after seemed to lose his whole
mind and began to imagine he had been
the cause of a great wreck. lie got SO
wild and frantic that it took two or
three men to control him and he was
taken to the home of Mrs. Gilmore,
where he resides.
The doctor was called and he was
put under the influence of opiates.
During the night whenever he would
rouse from the effects of the medicine
he looked very wild and imagined that
there was crowd of men in the yard
trying to get at him to hang HIM for
causing an imaginary wreck. He
seemed TO recognize but few of his
friends, and all the rest as his enc
mics.
He has improved considerably since
10 O'Clock Sunday night and there are
strong chances for his being wholly re-
stored if he can be kept quiet. He
had an operation performed on his head
Sunday in which he had some
small Jumps removed, but this we were
Informed could not have affected his
brain, as they were only on the outside
of the skull.
The general supposition, in which his
physicians concur, is that grief and
trouble caused by the sad loss of his
young wife have so preyed upon his
mind that at last it gave way to the
great strain.
Mr.. Frank Burgess, train master at
this place, and the other gentlemen as
sOciated with him in the employ of the
road at the dispatcher's office, have
been unremitting in their attendance
upon him, some of them having been
at his bedside ever since the misfor-
tune has overtaken him.
His physicians hope for the best, but
as yet all is uncertain, as he may in a
few days regain his reason all right, or
severe attack of brain fever, in which
case it will be hard struggle for him
in his weak state to survive.
Expressions of sympathy for him are
general, especially among those best
acquainted with him and who are
aware of the DEVOTED attachment he
felt for his wife, whose loss has weighed
upon him so seriously as to PROSTATE
him. Everything that can be done for
him is being attended to, and if he
does not recover it will not be for lack
of attention. His brother, who lives
at Madison, Wis, has been telegraphed
for and will be here in few days. :,

If the Wisconsin Grand Army posts
continue little while longer to treat
the country to their serial sensations
they may yet hope to attain national
reputation. A few weeks ago row
was raised at Madison on a simple
question of the honorable discharge of a
member. Now the post at Baraboo has
aired to the world at large some trifling
domestic difficulties with which one of
its members was said TO have been con-
nected, and has dishonorably dis
charged the man for it. The findings
and sentence have been disapproYed by
the department commander, and the
post is consequently in fever of ex-
element. Now, what possible good
these public expeditions of post disa-
greements can do to either the post or
the individuals concerned we fail to see.

After several unsuccessful attempts,
she finally escaped to the conservatory,
unnoticed aud unattended.
She had not been there many min
utes when she was aroused by the sound
of voices near her.

screened her.
Not for the world would she have

said Ralph unsteadily.
''Old man, | am sorry for you'll

''is it Rita Campbell?"
Eyes" admitted Ralph slowly; and
they moved on.
Rita was too stunned to move. even
when their voices had died away.
A tremor shook her frame; the slow
tears gathered beneath her lashes aud
began to fall one by one.
s'Does he love me?" she cried, try
ing to believe in her happiness.
And so absorbed was she that she
did not hear the sound of approaching
footsteps.
A startled exclamation reused her,
and looking up, she found Ralph stand
ing beside her.
They were both terribly agitated, but
after a moments silence, Ralph said
very gently:
Miss Campbell. you have learned
in the last few minutes what Intend
ed you should never know. have al
ways laughed at the idea of love at
first sight, but the first time | saw you
my heart went from me. How my love
grew as the days went by it would be
impossible to tell you, but the hope of
my life was to call you my wife.

to steady his voice
''But the more / showed my love,
| the colder you grew. and you will
never know the agony endured when

| avowal of my love. and l should have
held to my resolve if accident had not
revealed my secret to YOU"
| Not one word crossed the beautiful
| lips when he finished.
Fearing he had annoyed her beyond
all forgiveness, Ralph started away;
but, as though she OWNED his
thoughts, Rita rose to her feet.
AS she raised her eyes to his face,
something in their lovely depths gave
Ralph touch of rapture he had never
known before.
Rita" he cried in a low impassioneo
tone, ''can it be true that you love me

She made no verbal answer, bu
turned to him face full of Happiness:
and content In another moment sh'

''say-'I love you"

"My own, my wife!" he answered
with his lips to hers.
A moment later he knew, with {
thrill of rapture, his kiss had been re
turned.
